Positive Body Image From the Start!

Children should feel good about themselves no matter what their weight is! Help your child develop a positive body image with these simple tips from the child obesity experts at North Dakota State University:

* Never tease kids about their weight, even in a lighthearted way!
* Let kids choose clothing that fits their style and makes them feel good. Remember, you're not going to like everything they wear!
* Don't make comparisons! Every child's body and inherited shape is special and unique.
* Be sure to point out all the wonderful qualities your children possess — physically and otherwise — often. Resist the urge to focus on "drawbacks."
* Be sure to let your children know you love them unconditionally for who they are — not what they look like!
* Model a healthy body image yourself! If you don't have one now, try to make peace with your body — "flaws" and all! Your kids are watching!
